Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Milan derby being played at 12:30 to suit the Chinese is an inevitable turning point in Serie A coverage worldwide. Potentially there could be 333 million viewers from China, where the game will be broadcast at 18:30. Italy needs to catch up with England and Spain, whose top leagues have adapted kick off times for the purpose of suiting Asian markets. This is a historic first step for Italy as the business world changes and they must not look back.

I don’t know in my country we called him something else
Isn’t he from Tsubasa?
yes, but that was the name of the protagonist
shitty for me here in Canada
What time will it be?
for me it will be at 4:30am. My time zone is 8 hours behind Italy.
Mine is 3:30 AM in California. I guess I’ll sleep in the morning
Same here.
LA.
I’m used to the weird scheduling when it comes to Inter or international football altogether,,
When I was in Vietnam 10 years ago, the Derby was always played at 1:45 AM in the clock. Now I am in U.S and they tend to move the Derby to Asian clock >.<
if i was younger i would have just partied all saturday night then watch Toonami on Adult Swim then watch the game…those were the days!
I am used to this whenever big matches are played in SERI A, Champions League, EPL, Spanish League, etc. Here in Indonesia, people watch big matches at around 03:00 a.m-04:30 a.m., and they start their routines two or three hours later.
nice. i remember i had to do a lot of that when the world cup was in korea/japan. me and my dad would wake up, watch the games, then i would head off to school. lol. good memories.
